“On Your Own”

London artist Ben Garrett has been making music as Fryars for years, but he still begins new single "On Your Own" by reintroducing himself. "Hello, it's only me," he sings, "I come and go with minimal flair." Those two words sum up Garrett's M.O.; he assembles spartan odes to loneliness that occasionally indulge in Muzak-esque figures. Last year, he dressed up a classic piano with Auto-Tune on "Love So Cold", and in February he followed in the tradition of another understated London producer and added a gentle thud to Local Natives' elegiac "Heavy Feet".
